TODAY’S VERSE
When the servant of the man of God got up early the next morning and went outside, there were troops, horses, and chariots everywhere. “Oh, sir, what will we do now?” the young man cried to Elisha. “Don’t be afraid!” Elisha told him. “For there are more on our side than on theirs!”
II Kings 6:15-16 (NLT)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
How do you fight your battles? Here we see a situation that Elisha finds himself in. The King of Aram was trying to defeat the Israelites but everytime they had a plan God would share it with Elisha who would then tell the King of Israel. The King of Aram was sure that he has a traitor in his court, but everyone insisted that it was the Prophet Elisha. So, the King in his anger sent his troops to go seize Elisha. Elisha’s servant got up in the morning and had a rude awakening when he went outside. They were surrounded by troops, horses ahd chariots. Now Elisha was already aware of his plight. Did he get his sword? Did he go get the Armies? No, he had a different plan. He gave the battle to God and leaned upon him. You see Elisha saw what the real reality was. God had already revealed to him what he prayed for the servant. He prayed, “O LORD, open his eyes and let him see!” The LORD opened the young man’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire.” God was in Elisha’s battle plans. He asked God to intervene and deliver him and that is what God did. We need to bring our battles to God. Yes, a mighty army may come against us, but the real truth is that we are surrounded by the Army of God. Today, might we rise in faith and cry out, “The Battle is the Lords!”
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, open my eyes that I can see you in all my battles. You are there. You surround me with Your love and might. Help me trust in you.
AMEN
